The Champs' music is so exhilaratingly, grin-inducingly, fist-shakingly wonderful you cannot help but want more. VI delivers in spades.
-
It's music like this, intelligently composed and played, delivered with clarity and purposefully varied, that, finally, makes sense of the Fucking Champs.
-
This record is the first time the Fucking Champs have actually managed to capture the actual emotional colors of their own banality, rather than trying to piss a whole two-minute solo all over the place.
-
These tunes shred as po’-facedly as any the Champs have recorded.
-
VI largely does away with the synth embellishments of old, but the band's stock-in trade of highest-quality riffing is intact.
-
Under The RadarIt's much better than V, but ultimately more of the same. [#17, p.98]
-
VI strips down the prog to an ingestible 2-guitar/drums setup, forgoing many of the spacey, Yes-influenced synths and flare of previous releases and instead narrowing its focus on more immediate hooks and transitions.
-
Essentially, if you've heard the group before, you know what you're getting into here, and if you enjoy them you won't be let down.
-
Alternative PressYeah, they've been putting out pretty much the same album for the last 10 years. [Jun 2007, p.158]

UncutWhy, when Dragonforce are doing this for real? [May 2007, p.96]
